Center City Terrace + Lounge

When it opened in July 2017, the Center City Terrace + Lounge filled a need in Rochester’s business district: providing an outdoor haven above the hustle and bustle of downtown.

Located on the fourth floor of the Hyatt Regency Rochester, the spacious roof terrace and indoor bar provide a comfortable atmosphere to relax, enjoy some food and drinks and take in the views.

Center City has become hot spot for group gatherings, be it a corporate event, wedding or even just a night out with some friends. It is also becoming a favorite among locals, particularly those working or living downtown, who just want to place to unwind in the open air.

The team at MC Management—which owns the Hyatt and Center City, among other local hospitality venues—wanted to provide “an urban oasis for locals and visitors alike that could take advantage of the beautiful city view.”

While the rooftop view brings many to Center City, it’s hardly the only draw. A robust menu of creative cocktails, beer and wine, and a laid back atmosphere—complete with yard games, firepits and comfy deck furniture—make it an enjoyable hangout regardless of the scenery.
